Great to catch up and talk with you and Chris again. Elwood looked really good!

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
So where’s the final pics at LST? Did you get the wheels and wood grain done?

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
I dig it! The size/BS on the wheels really fills the wells out nicely.

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
I wish I could go back and show you a bunch of great pics from the last week. unfortunately there arent many. I got up early and worked a bit every day. I loaded my truck with supplies and put in a 10-12 hour day at work, then came home and put in several shop hours. I ran on 4 hours sleep till the last three nights and got almost no sleep then.
I expect no sympathy as these were self inflicted wounds. In order to honor my commitment to vendors on Scarlett, I had to compromise my timeline for Elwood. I knew this going in, and have no regrets. My only concern is I have very few pics to share. Lets take a look at those that I do have. Heres the dash coming together thanks to Brothers Truck parts. A new bezel covers the Resto Mod Air digital controller. The steering wheel was updated by American Racing to match the wheels. I color matched the leather grip to the seat.

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
Prior to this i had pulled all of the interior plastic and and stripped it clean. It was in excellent condition so I simply scuffed it and dyed it to match. My door panels were good, but the arm rest pads were coming apart. Fortunately Brothers Truck parts had exactly what I needed. they supplied me with new arm rest pads, and long with carpeted lower door panels to match the beautiful carpet.
I'm not sure why the color looks washed out. It is very red.

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
Thanks. I did not do the install. I suggest you hire a professional. After watching Daryl at Deluxe 281 spend an hour on the tailgate, I knew I made the right choice. I love to learn new things, but I feel confident that it's done right.

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
Do you plan to redo the interior woodgrain to match the outside?

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
Just got on board with the build. I have to say, Elwood looks awesome. That seat is killer!!! Absolutely love it. You know, some of the seats came with garnishes to cover the hinge. I take it your seat didn't have them? But I like how your seat guy made them red, to match the rest of the seat.

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
I’m glad I got to see the truck at GoodGuys yesterday. It was nice to meet you in person! I hope I’m able to attend more shows in the future.

Elwood was a big hit at the Goodguys show. He was in the RideTech booth and had an endless stream of people stopping to ask questions and take pics. The media guys were very responsive to the new look too. I had photo and video coverage by Joseph Dowling of Cars & Concerts, Kaleb Kelly of Classic Car Liquidators and Ryan Brown of Gears, Wheels, and Motors for features on their sites. Now its time to get ready for the next event.
